Meenakshi Raina Poet Sonnet

Our Love Is Cursed

Such wondrous beauty held in eyes divine, 
I wish this lovely night would stay, be kind, 
So blissful are her eyes...I need no wine, 
Nothing to match her beauty can I find. 

The morning sun shall take away the night, 
And I shall wait till moon and stars arrive, 
In darkness our love hides...so harsh the light; 
Our love is cursed while unsought rivals thrive. 

But, when we die, forever we shall sleep, 
With unseen wings we leave, fly like a dove, 
Our bodies, left in ground, cruel could keep; 
We'll leave all things behind except our love. 

Now wait for death to mix in dust and sand, 
And hope we two unite in God's own land.

Gwendolyn Cloyd January 26, 2021 at 10:56 AM Thanks for sharing the information about your poem. I have always written poems, but has never paid attention to the type/form of poem it is. I am now in the process of learning about all of these needed elements and ingredients that are involved in the writing of poetry. I also enjoyed your poem and the story it tells.

Richard Morris January 25, 2021 at 1:09 PM I think it is nicely done. My only suggestion would be to make parts stronger by slightly different wording. For example, the first line is strong, but the second somewhat weaker.
